PG&E10-Q: Cash flow concern

Operating cash flow fell $367M (12%) due to increased collateral postings and claims payments.

What happened

A sub-investment grade credit rating is forcing the utility to post more collateral for its energy procurement contracts, which, along with increased wildfire claims payments, contributed to a 12% YoY decrease in operating cash flow. This creates a direct liquidity strain and highlights a financial pain point.
